We have a Fujitsu-Siemens FibreCat AX100 with 2 FC-port and 12 250GB SATA-1
disks. FibreCat AX100 is a OEM rebranded version of EMC AX100. Our FibreCat
performance in RAID 1/0 is 30MB/s and with a ekstra UPS-module including Cache,
we can push it up to 38MB. We have also updated it with the lates firmware but
without any performance improvement. So I think 38MB/s is the approximately the
performance limit this device can deliver.

Emne: [Networker] Disk backup
Good morning to all,
We recently acquired an DELL/EMC AX100i storage array with 12x 500GB SATA
drives with 2 SPs (storage processors). Each SPs are directly connected to my
Linux server using GB NICs.
First or initial config is 2x 1.3 TB virtual disks on RAID 5, the backup
throughput is only 10 to 15 MB/s. In the hope of improving the backup speed, I
re-created the virtual disks, this time I sacrificed capacity by using RAID
1/0. Able to create 2x 1.3TB virtual disks using all the 12 disks.
The backup throughput improves a bit if I'm just using/writing on one of the
virtual disk, but if I use them concurrently, the throughput slows down to 10
to 15 MB/s again.
Don't now why, but somehow LTO-2 tape drives throughput (15 to 20 MB/s) is a
lot faster than disks and also when I'm cloning the savesets on the disk to
tapes, the throughput is on average of 5 MB/s to 10 MB/s only. The data is
already on local disk and throughput should be a lot faster, but this is not
case in here.
Environment: Dell PowerEdge 2850 server with 2x 3.8 GHz processor and 4GB RAM
O/S: Red Hat Linux ES 3 kernel 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp
Networker server: v7.2.2
Any advise, suggestions or explanation is greatly appreciated.
